Looking for a quarterback to play this week? How about
Randall Cunningham of the Vikings? Cunningham, starting in place of the injured Brad
Johnson, could have a field day against a Detroit defense that has given up a ton of big
plays already this season. In three starts at the end of last season, Cunningham threw six
TD passes. |

Looking for a running back to play this week? How about
Travis Jervey or Raymont Harris of the Packers? As of Tuesday, Green Bay hadn’t named
the replacement for the injured Dorsey Levens, but both Jervey and Harris are sure to
carry the ball this week vs. a Bengal run defense that got mauled last week by the Lions.
Detroit rushed for 224 yards, including 185 by Barry Sanders. |

If you’ve been waiting for Bill RB Antowain Smith to
break out, it could happen this week vs. the Rams. St. Louis’ run defense was no
match last week for Viking RB Robert Smith, who rushed for 179 yards and a pair of
touchdowns. |
|
You may want to bench Chief RB Donnell Bennett this week.
Bennett’s numbers slipped considerably in Week Two — K.C.’s first full game
without standout OG Dave Szott — and this week he faces a Charger defense that has
been surprisingly effective vs. the run. San Diego limited Oiler RB Eddie George to 11
yards on 15 carries last week. |

Both Bobby Hoying and Jake Plummer have struggled so far
this season (one TD pass between them), but something has to give when the Eagles play the
Cardinals Sunday night. Neither team has defended the pass particularly well so far, and
both quarterbacks showed some signs of improvement in Week Two. |
|
Don’t let Peyton Manning’s early-season struggles
deter you from starting Colt WR Marvin Harrison this week. Harrison faces a Jet pass
defense that ranks near the bottom of the league and already has given up four TD passes. |
